All the News That Fits Soros’ Agenda

Are three liberal billionaires trying to control what we think of as news in America?

EXCERPTS:

Hedge fund billionaire George Soros, the sugar daddy of the Democratic Party, has given NPR an initial grant of $1.8 million dollars to begin a project called Impact of Government that will allow NPR to hire 100 journalists at NPR member stations in all 50 states. The focus will be covering state governments and how their actions affect people.

At the same time, Soros sends a million dollars to Media Matters, a leftist “media monitoring” group that sends out barrages of criticism whenever a news outlet (especially Fox News) reports news that does not fit Media Matters’ liberal agenda. Media Matters tries to chill free speech and censor conservatives.

What has not drawn any attention is that his political allies, Herb and Marion Sandler (billionaire profiteers from the Savings and Loan crisis — one more thing they have in common with George Soros), founded a group called Pro Publica, that has the same purpose as this new effort by George Soros (see How Allies of George Soros helped bring down Wachovia Bank and “The Sandlers, Soros and Marcellus Shale reserves“)

Therefore what is reported as “news” by the government-funded NPR will be tainted (and perhaps influenced) by money provided by the hyper-partisan George Soros, and “news” provided by Pro Publica (for free) to other media outlets will also be influenced by the role of Herb and Marion Sandler in funding Pro Publica.

The Sandlers and Soros also co-founded the liberal think-tank Center for American Progress (“The Democratic Idea Factory“). The Center for American Progress also has a media agenda: its “experts” are often quoted by newspapers across America as if they were independent, neutral experts; their ties to liberal billionaires are never mentioned. One of the “arms” of the Center for American progress is called “Think Progress,” and this was the source, the Ground Zero, of the agitprop regarding The Chamber of Commerce ads being funded by foreign money. This absurd charge (ridiculed by even the New York Times) was fanned by Barack Obama, Robert Gibbs, and Democrat politicians running for office across America.
